Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana

This year Jan 2015 will witness the change in lives of countless girl child and women. The pet project launched by Prime Minister Shri Narender Modi “Beti bachao beti Padhao” (BBBP) Yojana (save daughter, educate daughter) to save and empower the girl child is making waves all over the nation.

This major inter-ministerial initiative of the Government of India bringing together Ministries, institutions and civil societies, though not a drastic change yet, the results are positive on the scheme. The scheme will have focussed intervention and multi-section action in almost 100 districts with low Child Sex Ratio (CSR).

“The village that succeeds in attaining a balanced sex ratio will be awarded Rs 1 crore’’this strong incentive will reduce the declining CSRensuring that the girl child gets equal opportunities to shine.

Finance minister Mr.Arun Jaitley in his Budget speech announced that the government would focus on campaigns to sensitise the citizens of this country towards the concerns of the girl child and women. He also included that this process must begin early and therefore the school curriculum must have a separate chapter on the core subject of gender equality.

The financial figures to assist the issue include Rs. 50 crore for testing a scheme for safety of women on Public Road Transport by The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Additionally, Rs.150 crore will be spent by Ministry of Home Affairs to increase the safety of women in large cities.

From the Nirbhaya fund, there is a proposal to set up Crisis Management Centres this year, in all districts of the capital, Delhi. The centres will be set up in all Government and Private Hospitals.

From the workshops conducted of District Collectors held in Chandigarh, Guwahati and Delhi till now, the suggestions that have come out are

Emphasis on the education of the girl child for their empowerment. This will make the Zila Panchayats prominent in implementing and monitoring BBBP.

Economic incentives as a motivation were also suggested by the members.

The essential fact to be noted here is that allottingfunds and schemes alone will not work wonders. The laws have to be amended, the culprits have to be vigorously punished, the ones involved in the practice of sex determination and sex selective abortion should be punished severely, and the government has to talk tough so that doctors do not indulge in this malpractice.

Personally according to me, a connection first with all has to be established with the society at large. This will make the citizens more sensitive and will be able to relate themselves better to how and what the ill-treated girl child feels like.

Working towards the BBBP Yojana, the latest advertisements in the Television are fantastically making the audience more human in this perspective. The campaigns are boosting the morals of people and helping the unspoken to reach out. If you want results, dedicated efforts have to be clubbed with the monetary incentives.

The associated problems in bringing up the girl child, her marriage expenses, Dowry system and discrimination in the society have to be talked out more often so that the citizens, showcase more responsible behaviour or even out of shame think twice before indulging themselves in such crimes or acts of violence.

There definitely are families who care exclusively for their girl child. It’s just that the issues have to be talked smartly and encourage the future parents with a positive role.

The immediate issues to be tackled now are,

Awareness on gender equality

Education for women

Medical aid and health issues

Safety in public transport system

Women safety cells

Campaigns on sensitization towards women and children

Cybercrime cells

Crisis Management centre’s

Awards for role models, parents and other categories

These initiatives will provide a pathway to the young generation.

Prime Minister said ‘Beta Beti ek saman’; this should be everyone’s mantra. Isn’t this marvellous? Well, Yes! This is a wonderful phase in the life of each girl suffering out there to come out of the shell.

Why kill innocent girl every day?

Bring a smile to those angels. SAVE THE GIRL CHILD, EDUCATE THE GIRL CHILD!

Good initiative sir. We should approach this scheme at a place where the girl children are brought in their childhood like Hospitals, Aangabari Centre, Cretchs, Pulse Polio abhiyan, Immunisation programme etc. Because the parents definitely come at aforesaid centre for protect their children. We should start and promote the Abhiyan at these center so that we may extend it to whole india and worldwide.

I have one girl aged 8 studing in standard 3rd in one of the school of Nagpur. I would like to participate in this mission please guide and also I would like to make some saving on her name please guide.
Thank you

Sir every plan need to be implement on land also. on ground level we have seen non applicability of any plan of action. only paper plan can not contribute to develop the country. if you have spare time, then u must visit the uttrakhand villages. where u found a lot of mis utilisation of fund and their action plan, you feel the real things when you stay a minutes at any government school. the status of buildings says automatically without asking any question.
thanks.
ever yours,
